District Court Orders Trial to Determine Whether Whirlpool CBA Vested Lifetime Health Benefits for Certain Retirees (PDF)
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division Link to more items from this source
Aug. 28, 2013
55 pages. Excerpt: "This class action is calibrated to determine the fate of company-paid health benefits for more than two thousand retired workers (and their spouses) who produced vacuum cleaners for Hoover, Maytag, and Whirlpool, in the Canton, Ohio, area.... Retirees and Whirlpool have filed cross-motions for summary judgment ... calling on the Court to decide, among many contentions, the question at the heart of the controversy: Did the relevant collective bargaining agreements promise Retirees lifetime, unalterable health benefits to be paid by their employer upon retirement? The Court concludes that genuine issues of material fact exist with respect to the claims of the majority of Retirees. Those claims will proceed to trial." [Zino et al. v. Whirlpool Corp. et al., No. 5:11CV01676 (N.D. Ohio, Aug. 27, 2013)]
